This is a Doctor TRAVELS video (is that a thing?). I'm in Rome, pretending for a five minutes that I'm in ancient Rome. I love mental health, I love medical history and I love travel and I'm combining these in one video looking at five absolutely unbelievable but real theories about what caused mental illness that were held by the Ancient Romans off of ye olden days. Let me know if and which ones stand out to you.

Hello! I'm 18 y/o Akvilė from Lithuania. Recently I got diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. It really scared me considering all of the stigma that surrounds conditions like these, especially in a post Soviet Union country. That said, your videos made me feel more at piece with myself, less scared of myself, less lonely and gave me hope that I will be able to live a "normal", full- filling life. You rock. Thank you💚
Sending you best whishes to find a good way to live with your diagnosis and the right support from health care system.
Your young age/early diagnose will most definitely be beneficial to you.
And don't worry about "normal" too much. It's just a label. There is no one single definition of it.
I understand your worry, Society can be harsh.
But YOU ARE VALID no matter what.
That means so much that you've found the vids helpful. No illness defines you!
The “moral failing” explanation of mental illness is definitely still around. My parents listen to Dr. Laura’s radio show. I once heard her tell a depressed caller that she’s never met someone with depression who wasn’t harming someone else, basically saying that depression comes from guilt over your own misdeeds. Her doctorate is in physiology, by the way.
Next time someone asks me whats wrong im telling them i got too much black bile or that some ancient gods came down to fk w my spirit. Thats a much cooler and dramatic way to put it
👏 😂
Ffs "Fk w my spirit" 😂
I hope the Italian sun lifts your spirit during this difficult time, Doc. We appreciate you taking the time out if your well deserved holiday to educate and entertain us ❤
Please more videos like this! I love the reaction stuff, but I think you have so much potential also in the fun facts and useful knowledge department.
I like both, but yeah the quick learning moments are fun!
I’ve never heard of "the atoms of Asclepiades" one, it was so interesting to learn about!
That is basically prescribing (considering what was available at the time) right treatment for the wrong reasons, and it is a bit sad that later his ideas about treatment weren’t taken seriously.
I have just now read that his motto was to heal people "cito tuto jucunde" meaning "quickly, safely, pleasantly" and i love this empathetic approach.
Thank you once again for the video!
Love you doc!! Love being one of the first ones here!
Have fun in Rome!, Loving the outfit Doctor Elliott! Looking good! 👌😃
There's a Korean show called "Daily dose of sunshine". It's set in a psychiatric hospital and follows a nurse who just transfered to the unit, and is working as a psychiatric nurse for the first time. If you're ever looking for something new to react to I recommend checking out the show, or if you're just looking for something to watch in general
The editing this time around is peak! Not that it's normally a slouch, but it's really shinning through here
Your videos are always a treat, but for some reason this one is really standing out! Excellent job, sir, and thank you for all you do to educate the world ❤
My cousin was given an exorcism for his cocaine addiction. It didn't work! I shudder to think what the ancient Romans would have thought of my autism and anxiety!
Yay, medical history! Enjoy your trip, it is odd seeing you outside though!
Hi, I know about the demonic possession (and trepanation) and the 4 humours theory, but most of the rest was new to me. Thank you very much for the interesting video. I'm always glad to learn new things.
And have a good time in Rome.
And agree on the vengeful goddesses. First time I heard it but my favourite too.
Could you go in depth on these in another video? (After your trip, of course. So jealous!)
Oh I love Rome. Have fun there! Nice view of the Tiber Island, bridge on the other side is the oldest in Rome still standing.
Welcome to Italy! Hope you are gonna like the city of Rome 😊
I adore Italy
Dropping Peter Andre tracks. Nice..... ❤
As a teenager, I had an exorcism through an NHS therapist who said I had a 'gay demon' in me. It was a different time and they were just following the science.
Following the *seance*
Honestly, numbers 1 and 2 really feel right to me. Sometimes I really feel possessed and filled with the black bile. On some level I can understand wanting to cut a hole in my skull to let the demons out 😂 🤷♀️
Can you do a video on phobias? My spider phobia is bad.
Have a great time in Rome!
Has there been verified studies done that prove animal sacrifice don’t cure depression?
I can't imaging NIHR would be prioritising the funding for that before we even get on to the ethics application
Technically trepanation is still done and it works (and worked at the time). For brain swelling lmao
Well yes but I think we're losing nuance if we're comparing a burr hole for someone with an intracranial bleed to letting evil spirits exit the brain... scary neurosurgeons will pounce and tell me off
